2009 schedule to be unveiled on NFL Network Tuesday

We already know the opponents, but the rest of the guessing about the Dolphins’ 2009 schedule will end Tuesday when NFL Network unveils the entire schedule in a two-hour show beginning at 7 p.m.

The Dolphins won’t open at home, as the Marlins have a Sept. 13 home game against Washington. They also won’t play home on the third week, with the Mets visiting Dolphin Stadium that day. That means the home opener is certain to be the weekend of Sept. 20.

Miami, of course, faces the toughest schedule in the league based on 2008 records. The Dolphins will play AFC East rivals Buffalo, New England and the Jets home and away, as well as Houston, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Pittsburgh at home, and Tennessee, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Carolina and San Diego on the road.

With the fascination fans had for the Wildcat formation, the presence of Bill Parcells and marquee opponents such as Pittsburgh, Indy, Tennessee and Carolina, it wouldn’t be a bit surprising if the team is given three or four prime-time exposures this year
